David Tennant has recently provided the foreword to a new
book created by families supported by Scottish charity Circle. The charity
works at the heart of deprived communities across central Scotland and aims to
support the most disadvantaged and difficult-to-engage children and families,
to improve their lives, to promote their healthy potential and development and to build their resilience. David, who is one of the charity’s patrons, was delighted to
provide the foreword to ‘The Alien Assignment’, a book created by families
supported by Circle’s Edinburgh-based Haven Project. In the summer of 2015 the project staff
visited different locations in Edinburgh with parents and their children,
collecting ideas, objects and inspiration for their story. Children’s author
Mike Nicholson led the creative session forming the main body of the story.
‘The Alien Assignment’ is the third in the series produced alongside Circle’s
Haven Project families.

The third volume of the Tenth Doctor archives is released on 15th June.
This volume collects the story arcs 'Tesseract' and 'Final Sacrifice'! Witness the TARDIS assaulted by bizarre, five dimensional beings! Martha and UNIT battling an ancient evil under Greenwich! And, finally, the Tenth Doctor's new companions, Emily Winter and Matthew Finnegan, must face the predations of the Advocate on a war-ravaged alien world... and not everyone will make it out alive!

Collects: Doctor Who: Tesseract; Doctor Who: Final Sacrifice

David Tennant has been nominated in the 42rd Annual Saturn Awards, which were announced via YouTube today. David was shortlisted in the Best Supporting TV Actor for his performance as Kilgrave in the Netflix exclusive comic book adaptation Marvel's Jessica Jones.

Also nominated was Krysten Ritter, David's co-star in the series, who plays the eponymous Jessica. She is shortlisted as Best TV Actress. The series itself has been given a nod in a brand new category for this year: Best New Media Television Series.

The Saturn Awards are presented every year by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films. Members of the academy vote to decide the winners of the awards which recognise the very best in genre entertainment across film and TV.

The final episode of Marvel's Jessica Jones, AKA Smile, has been nominated in the 2015 Nebula Awards, presented by the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America.

Marvel's Jessica Jones stars Krysten Ritter as the eponymous former superhero, driven into relative obscurity following a trauma suffered at the hands of the mind-controlling villain Kilgrave, played by David Tennant. Mike Colter, Carrie Anne Moss and Rachael Taylor also starred in the thirteen part Netflix exclusive series.
